#OnThisDay September 17, 1935, Senate President Manuel L. Quezon is elected President in the first Philippine Presidential elections and won a lopsided victory against former President Emilio Aguinaldo.
Accordingly, Quezon’s election victory was largely due to the weak political machinations of his rivals. Another losing contender was Gregorio Aglipay, founder and supreme bishop of the Iglesia Filipina Indepediente (Philippine Independent Church). Pascual Racuyal, a mechanic by profession, also ran for President as an independent. Quezon’s running mate, Senate President Pro Tempore Sergio Osmeña won a more impressive victory as Vice President of the Philippines.
The Philippine presidential and vice presidential elections of 1935 was an election under the approved and adopted Commonwealth of the Philippines provided by the Tydings–McDuffie Act, a law that paved the way for a transitory government.
